Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Take Responsibility for Me (5)
If Bo Yan’s father had not died, he might not have chosen a successor so soon. But his father left too early, and in recent years the company had been controlled by Bo Qiliu, who would not willingly hand everything over to his nephew; the company also could not afford internal strife.
From a young age, Bo Yan deliberately avoided disputes, opting for the path of a scholar and even becoming a university lecturer. His entrance into the entertainment industry was also a declaration that he had no ambition for the company. Bo Yan was willing to yield, and this brought both relief and sadness to the old family head. Relieved because he knew how to avoid the sharp edges, but saddened because such a clever person would not inherit the family business.
From the standpoint of the family head and the company chairman, he could only support Bo Yi and overlook Bo Yan. It wasn’t about family affection, but rather interests.
Bo Yan never fought for anything nor did he say much. Over the span of twenty or so years, he had grown accustomed to Bo Yan’s concessions. That was why Bo Yan’s insistence last night made him both angry and upset.
He had intended to scold him, but after a night of calm, he found himself at a loss for words.
After a long while, he finally spoke up, yet what he asked about was Bo Yan’s love life, “How are things between you and Siyu?”
Bo Yan was taken aback; he had even anticipated how the old family head would scold him, but did not expect his grandfather to suddenly inquire about him and Xia Siyu.
He nodded, “It’s fine.”
A very official response, in line with his usual standard of speech. But as he said these words, the corners of Bo Yan’s mouth slightly lifted, clearly indicating that he was in a good mood.
Even though he was rushed out without his shoes, he knew in his heart that his relationship with Xia Siyu had taken a very important step forward.
Xia Siyu, despite being rumored outside as the scandal queen with endless boyfriends, feared to have extensive experience, in truth had only ever been with one man. She may seem dominant and straightforward, but that directness is predicated on her actually liking the man. Just as she once did with him.
In this respect, Bo Yan was confident. Whether it was looks, physique, scholarship, or eloquence, he was in no way inferior to others. If Xia Siyu were to prefer other men after dating him, it could only mean that he genuinely “wasn’t good enough”!
If there was no man who could touch her heart, then hovering around her every day was useless, like Qin Baizhou.
Thinking back, her quirky personality wasn’t so bad. Anyone with a normal brain, not to mention keen individuals like Xia Sicai and Shang Feifei but even someone like Wei Jingjing, would have noticed Qin’s brother’s affection for Xia Siyu. It was just this straightforward girl who truly couldn’t see it…
The traditional yet Western Xia Siyu actually placed a great emphasis on physical intimacy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept rejecting his advances. Moreover, he could vaguely sense that Xia Siyu wasn’t so repulsed by the idea. After all, although she was angry this time, she didn’t directly kick his private parts; she simply slapped him and sent him out.
Even if she wouldn’t admit it, deep down she was gradually accepting him.
That’s okay, he could start with the physical side. As long as there’s more interaction, more sleeping together, she would gradually get used to it over time.
Zhang Ailing once said, “The shortcut to a woman’s heart is through the Y-channel.”
He hoped it would really be so.
The old family head looked him up and down. Bo Yan’s eyes were clear, his expression calm, showing no sign of being upset over not getting Bosch. His mood became even more complicated.
Was it right or wrong to hand Bosch over to Bo Yi?
